hi. i've checked my previous advices and i cen tell this:
as for number 1 - messin with "POPData.bf" file (changin region) does the same effect as switching the european exe (5,44mb) with us exe (5,13mb) - starforce checking succeeds but the game wont launch anyway (after starforce window nothing happens at all), so i think that u dont even have to switch european exe at all, just the starforce files.
as for number 2 - bone splitting setting makes no difference for me at all
and i've been thinking that maybe switchin "amir" files with starforce other versions (or same versions from games already cra... cooked) would be a good idea?
and finally - censorship in pop really sucks and im really dissapointed with ubisoft's policy (not even a single word from them in this subject). Also that's not the first time they've made their game unplayable for some gamers due to "security reasons". i still remember copyprotection problems with XIII and that they did not respond at all (i had to use a non-official patch (not a crack, a patch to 1.3version) just to run an original game on my computer. hell, 'xcuse me for this offtop :P
